While I think Asylum Visitor is somewhat overrated, it plays perfectly with Call the Bloodline, as it lets you turn cards that are stuck in your hand into Vampires to make Asylum Visitor give you more cards, and the lifelink can make up the lost life
Combined with its fiery artwork and iconic status, this version quickly became a centerpiece for many collections
Its easy to write these concerns off as nobody should actually buy these cards under the assumption that theyre going to maintain their value, its just a game, what did you expect, paying $500 for a piece of cardboard? or even, if you have enough money to blow on $100 Magic cards, then money shouldnt be enough of a problem for you for this to matter. The problem, of course, is that people grow and circumstances change
If you love coinflips, then this is the version for you
HP cards sell for about $145, while MP jumps into the $250 to $350 range, followed by LP copies for $600.
